WHAT HAPPENS IN
THE FIT ROOM MATTERS

What can make or break an apparel brand in ten seconds? Fit. Fit is the dealmaker, or dealbreaker. In the end, it’s the differentiator.

Middle Sisters

"Raise the Bar is the missing link in the supply chain. Our productivity has improved tenfold because of RTB’s impeccable communication and collaboration with us. She speaks the techy language of our designer clients, the graders, patternmakers and factory floor managers and that saves us a lot of time and expense-savings we often can share with our clients."

- R. K. NJ Factory Owner

SERVICES

Raise The Bar has you covered from concept to in her closet.

Raise the Bar was not only able to translate my vision into perfectly-fitting garments, but also implemented grading rules and block patterns which has resulted in a more cohesive fit across the collection, hence improving add-on sales and reducing returns—all beneficial to the company and our vendors.


- Joelle C. Klein, Design Director at Roberta Freymann.

MADE IN THE USA

(Local & The Americas/Nearshoring)
Paterson, NJ, historically known as “Silk City, USA.” Western North Carolina. Newark, NJ. These centers of manufacturing tradition have been gaining steam again in the new century, gaining national, socially conscious, cottage fashion brands, and even Chinese clients.

Some of the most recent success stories in the apparel market came from one bold move: bringing some or all production back to growing U.S. manufacturing suppliers. Citing advantages in oversight, control, quality, economic empowerment, and “heritage-minded” consumers, these centers are poised for new partnerships, and Raise the Bar has a proud tradition of playing matchmaker. Whether you want to source in the Americas or off-shore, RTB helps you determine the most cost-effective route to market leadership.

What’s just one more sample? You may have heard these words in your own fit room. But to riff on a phrase, "What happens in the fit room doesn’t stay in the fit room."
